After news Britney Spears checked into a mental health facility to seek treatment for a rough patch she's experiencing amid her father Jamie's health problems, her ex Kevin Federline "commends" her for getting help.

"Kevin commends Britney for recognizing that she needs to take a step back and that she is taking reasonable steps to dealing with her situation in a responsible way," Mark Vincent Kaplan told Entertainment Tonight of his client Federline.

Reports claim Federline is seeking an increase in child support payments while he cares for the former couple's sons Sean Preston, 13, and Jayden, 12. Gee, nothing like adding insult to injury!

Obviously Britney experienced mental health issues back in 2007/2008 when we snapped her in the new infamous umbrella attack on our photographer's car and of course, that time she shaved her head ...


Brit seemed to hint that something was up in her last Instagram. She posted this meme that reads, "Fall in love with taking care of yourself, mind body, and spirit."

We all need to take time for a little "me time." :)
